Emergency Exit_Agnieszka Kurant and Aleksandra Wasilkowska_Venice Architecture Biennale 2010
"It is lit from within, suggesting a night landscape, a fantastical de-materialized world containing an object and an action. You climb the seemingly precarious structure. At the height of the summit you look down into a churning sea of clouds. Your breath catches, your pulse quickens; you look down, then out, and then leap blindly into the void. . ."

Kurant and Wasilkowska interpret the city as an unpredictable, complex system whose collective understanding is composed of intersecting real and imaginary spaces changed through extremely rare events.

7 Curiosities

I translate the word curiosity as something that enables me to wonder and search for my personal attitude towards an image or a concept. Everyday i come across to countless images, textures and scenes within the city that capture my eye and make me think further that the surface, find a deeper meaning. It's just curiosity.
